From the Women’s Giving Circle of Harford County:
BEL AIR, MARYLAND: JANUARY 31. 2011: A group of community-oriented Harford County women have founded a new charitable women’s support organization, called the Women’s Giving Circle of Harford County. According to co-founder and Chairman Jayne Klein, “Our vision is to empower and mentor women as they develop as community leaders, and at the same time bring about change through collaborative giving.”
Specific goals of the Women’s Giving Circle, according to Klein, are to make a difference in Harford County through the contribution of time, talent, and financial resources to women’s and family needs; to educate and increase the community’s awareness of local needs; and to provide social opportunities and educational events for members. “The Women’s Giving Circle will not only raise funds for specific community needs, but also will administer grants to non-profit organizations in Harford County on a yearly basis, working through the Community Foundation of Harford County,” Klein says.
Membership is open to all women of Harford County who wish to further the mission and goals of the Women’s Giving Circle through personal volunteerism and financial support. For more information, please contact Tamara W. Zavislan, Executive Director of the Community Foundation of Harford County, at 443-371-6062, or via e-mail at cfharfordcounty@comcast.net.
